Giants links: Players, coaches have circled the wagons. Are you buying it?

The Giants are presenting a united and upbeat front as they begin their last stand of this season.

Coach Tom Coughlin was animated and unbridled as he conducted his daily news conference Wednesday. He cracked a joke about the media asking questions to divide his team and even came out from behind the podium to demonstrate the proper technique to seal the edge on Chiefs star running back Jamal Charles.

Quarterback Eli Manning and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks have put their misunderstanding behind them, a situation Coughlin said was overblown by the media.

Safety Antrel Rolle had toned down his rhetoric from a day earlier. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was adamant that you'll soon see the old JPP. He and Justin Tuck warned against fair weather fans abandoning ship.

Nicks even said he thinks the Giants can still have the best offense in the league. It's called selective amnesia, folks. After all, he did have a front-row seat to the Broncos' offensive pyrotechnic show at MetLife Stadium in Week 2.

At 0-3, the Giants' trip to undefeated Kansas City is it. Already, the odds are astronomical against them making the playoffs.

But as the ever-optimistic Nicks said, you have to believe. If not, you have no chance.
